Umm, I don't know anyone and my nearest library is tiny and no one hardly in it, all my friends are back in n.ireland but I do chat to them sometimes

Do people work in that library? Do you read books? Go there and check out a book--and talk to the person who checks out the book to you. Do you have a library card?

Lol yes of course people work there. And no library card yet, and no don't read books very often at all.

I want you to go over there and get a library card. Do you know what ID you have to show?

Yes, I got my driving license, bills and stuff I could use :)

Okay. Good. I want you to go over there and get a card. Let me know when you have one. Oh, and talk to the person who gives you the card. Ask about the hours, ask if they have a brochure with hours and programs and activities on it. Then walk around the library to check it out. Is there a children's department? Anything special you can report back to me about? When you leave, look for that person who made your card, and be sure to say thank you (in a cheery voice) and wave goodbye.

I never know what is too much for me either. Therapist recommends going through all the past abuse I had as a child and it may bring up old realities that I am not ready to deal with. If you feel anxiety like I do, you know it is paralyzing. But we have to live our lives, do you see a professional? Keeping a journal is suppose to be helpful, to see where you have been and where you are going. I am tired of being scared of everything, and that is pushing me to open myself up to new possibilities. So far I feel I am becoming another person, a stronger person. I won't open myself up to romance though. I also don't spend time trying to get people to like me. Finding positive friends is important. What are your restrictions?

I'm in the Chicago area in the US.
